Paprika Gets U.S. Date

Paprika, the latest anime tour-de-force from Japanese filmmaker Satoshi Kon (Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue) has finally been given a North American theatrical date. The Sony Classics release played in Los Angeles late last year to qualify for Oscar consideration and will debut in select theaters on Friday, May 25.

In Paprika, a machine that allows therapists to enter their patient's dreams is stolen and falls into the wrong hands. When all hell breaks loose, it’s up to a young female therapist to set things right. The trippy, visually inventive pic is adapted from a science fiction novel by Yatsutaka Tsutsui and sports the tagline “This is your brain on anime.”

Produced by Sony Pictures Ent. Japan and animation studio Madhouse, Paprika is one of 15 feature films vying for an Academy Award nomination in this Best Animated Feature category. More information on the movie can be found at its new official website. www.paprikamovie.com.
